    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This fairly recent introduction has stunning variegation that looks as though it has been painted on. The pink and white patches and spots are almost more prevalent than the green portions, giving this Japanese maple outstanding coloration. This variety originated at Garden Design Nursery and is sure to be a winner. Also incorrectly known under the name 'Cosmos'.
